I have been watching the recall election in Miami-Dade County FL out of the corner of my eye the last couple of months as it heated up.
Tuesday was voting day --- and the good citizens of that city-community not only recalled the mayor and the country commissioner --- they broke an all time record of 88% for ousting them!! Yessir, 9 out of every 10 voters said 'hit the road'. And when the votes are certified Friday - he will!
And what was the sin of this popular Cuban-American pseudo-conservative, former FBI agent, in a town that adores Cuban Americans.... It's as simple as one, two, three...
1. He used millions of public dollars to build the Marlins a new playpen.
2. When housing values crashed, he increased property taxes 40% to 'fill the shortfall'
3. (the killer!) And then he gave large raises to 'public' employees and huge raises to his close aides!
I am slowly beginning to believe that that Americans have some backbones after all.... well at least - the taxpaying ones......
Bring back the poll-tax for all that don't pay taxes (income or property)!!
